The terminal's operator said that the Arctic Voyager had delivered
almost 140,000 cubic meters of LNG from Norway's Statoil
for Lithuania's gas trading company Litgas on
Friday morning.
Klaipedos Nafta LNG Business Director Tadas Matulionis
says that the company's LNG terminal is the most utilized ones in Europe.
"The demand for LNG terminal services remains high, with the terminal
operating at over 90 percent capacity during some months. Over three billion
cubic meters of natural gas have already been provided for consumers in
Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia," he said in a press release.
The terminal has received 42 LNG import cargoes, totaling 5.4 million
cubic meters, since the FSRU Independence began operations in Klaipeda in October
2014. It has also handled eight LNG reloads for re-export to small-scale LNG
import terminals in Sweden, Finland and Norway since early 2017.
The average size of a load was 139,000 cubic meters of LNG, with the largest shipment delivered by the Valencia Knutsen, which has a capacity of 173,000 cubic meters.
Gas has been supplied to Lithuania from four countries, including Norway, the United States, Trinidad and Tobago, and Nigeria, the company said.
